Keith, I have to fundamentally disagree with you.
Once the WG adopts the document, the WG owns it, and the document pen
holder (original author or otherwise) is expected to work according to
the direciton of the WG.
That's not how I read BCP78, and I'm not aware of any other instrument
by which the document's original authors give up their right to create
derivative works.
The pen holder retains their rights in their original contribution.
But in fact, once it is incorporating text from the WG, it belongs to
the WG.
Emphatically disagree. I believe this to be an entirely false statement.
